Also depends what extraction methods each lab is using one would think.

Neither, We have a eurofinns soil lab opened up here who are not giving away free soil tests like the local fertilizer co op. Have half a mind to try them.

No one send samples away to Kinsey in the US?

Azotobacter in a bottle might be part of the transition from bagged urea, to make the turkey alittle less cold. I've been concerned for some time noticing the way the land seems to get addicted to urea. Harder to get away from than talk about though.

36 pound/ha here this year for 4 straights mixed into the drill by hand. Only use certified seed so pushes the cost up.

It's a tricky one Pete, the long and the short of it is as arable farmers for the most part we are supplying commodity crops. I was approached by one the core promoters of the movement in NZ about supplying seed for "diverse species mixes" awhile back. He promised a higher price than the...

First hand observations after dabbling in Regen Ag for a couple of years. The natural products are just as costly as the conventional. It's a bit of punt knowing when the CC or FYM to a lesser degree will release it's fertility with spring cropping. The price of hen muck and the compaction of...

Plenty of debate about liquid or granular urea here too. Bulk granular with a modern spreader wins every time for price.Is some of the yield response claimed by the guys using liquid down to the fact they are often applying N with S and getting a S response as N & S work closely together?

Thanks for your reply. I don't know what to make of them, much like EM maps before or after rain. Like you say it's so subjective.

Are you deep N testing in the spring?

I've often wondered that too. 1 in 5 is plenty soon enough for peas/beans here too. Possibly the soya/corn rotation has a similar effect as continuous wheat being the land seems to get a natural immunity?.

The Delta blade pushes the black grass seed down into the profile........Sounds like creative licences.

It's only famous to those who have them. Once financially committed to that drilling system one can imagine it close to impossible to look at your decision with anything less than rose-tinted glasses.It wouldn't be human to do anything less. DD or plough anything goes here, horses for courses :)

Haven't done any more harvest, this weekend might be small window to put ruts in the land and get a pile of wet grain.

Would getting some catering size packets of sugar and drilling it in a micro seeder/slug bait bin at sowing time be less fuss if you want to give the soil some sugar?

Wigeon or jdj how do you guys get on with the seed and the fert coming out at the same time when leaving or entering the row? or do you just put up with abit of drilled crop with not enough fert or a fert over run?

No. Decent harvest weather and yields until late Feb then the weather turned feral.Plenty of people have yet to finish.

Pouring down in mid canty still, wheat is doing it's best to sprout after this months rain.

Nutrient and water robing is all I've found tree roots to be on the edge of paddocks. Our yield monitor always shows an uneconomic yield right under the tree lines even with there leaves rotting down in all crops, weather this is made up for by the wind protection and home the popular trees...

2017 was also the year for it,with less yield sapping winds and good spring rains like we haven't seen for years.Loads of guys on much shallower/lighter soils have had some of the best yields ever this year.
